President Obama on Friday, July 8, ordered American flags to be flown at half staff until sunset Tuesday, July 12, to honor the victims of the Dallas shooting on Thursday.
The proclamation includes American flags on “all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions.” Flags abroad on U.S. embassies, buildings and military facilities will also fly flags at half mast.
